You’d have to shave your head to prevent it becoming clogged with blond hairs. You could then perhaps decorate it with a ring of tattoos. Top of the head nostril ring?
Is this funny? What happened yesterday? Doesn’t she know her audience? Will her dress be blue tomorrow? Is she scared of dogs? What kind of a “thing” does she have for marine mammals? Is the print always so small?
Humor can be quite poetic, textured and dimensional, you don’t have to find it, but it’s often worth it when you do. At the very least it can take you somewhere you weren’t expecting. FA can do that, thanks to the blow hole.
At the going rate, the world will be so weird in a few years that Frog Applause will feel as mainstream as Ziggy. Happy anniversary FA, if that’s your real name!
I’ve always classified FA among the things that haven’t killed me yet. I don’t know if it’s made me stronger. I think the effect has generally been severe highly treatment resistant emotional trauma.
I cannot aim a barb at Teresa. One year, she featured a lovely unclothed lady in a strip that appeared on my birthday. That was the nicest gift I got that year.
Only 17? A mere child! Happy Sweet Seventeen, Froggle Plauss (as I too oft think of that monicker)!
Barb of the Day: Even with the really small print, this pitiful plea by the Girl with the Blue Dress On for a nostril atop her head is LAME special pleading! And unscientific! And self-referential. And old and repetitious and trying too hard,,,,

Technically, it would be a vent on the back of your neck, like a Sontaran on Doctor Who.

I’m a relatively new reader (but 67 yo fwiw), but even your misses are more interesting than the tedium put out by those “legacy” strips!

I’d rather watch a political ad than read your strip.

I interpreted this to mean that she has no nostrils and wishes she had one.

Happy to you, FA. When our granddaughters were little there was a video on Sesame Street about a girl who was searching for animals with one nostril.

Being able to breathe while face down in the fetid swamp that is GoComics would be a plus
(If you are paid by the “like”, your desire for affirmative rejection would appear to be counterproductive to FA as a whole.)

What would your hair be like when you had a cold?
I prefer barbless barbs, as they are easier on the fish when your goal is to injure fish recreationally.
